Description:
In English III. students practice all forms of writing, with an
emphasis placed on inquiry and research. English III students read extensively
in multiple genres from American literature. Few nations have as exciting an
array of works, authors, and themes as does our own American literature, and
the selections we read will help students realize the value and vitality of our
literary heritage. Students enrolled in English III will receive extensive
preparation for the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test, which
is administered in February.
